Pathos, Ethos, and Logos in Beowulf's Appeal

In Beowulf's appeal to Unferth, Beowulf uses Pathos when referring to his swimming match against Brecca. Beowulf makes the audience feel sympathetic for him when he uses vivid descriptions and has an emotional tone when he tells them of how he had to fight off sea-monsters and extremely harsh conditions. He also admits that he made a "mistake" in his challenge with Brecca. This also adds to the empathy that the audience was already feeling for him. Admitting that he made a mistake makes Beowulf's argument seem more credible and it makes him sound even more reasonable. His argument using pathos was very effective because he uses a pathetic appeal to manipulate and gain the support of the people.

Beowulf's also uses Ethos to help his appeal against Unferth. To begin his argument, Beowulf immediately discredits Unferth's attack on him by accusing him of being a drunk. This makes Unferth seem unethical and causes his evidence against Beowulf to seem weak and unconvincing. Beowulf also uses Ethos later on when he again uses a form of an ad homonym attack when he rebukes Unferth for murdering his brothers. This, again, attacks Unferth's principles and causes him to look dishonorable. Beowulf's argument using ethos was also very effective because through his attack of Unferth, he makes his audience feel like he does not intend them any harm and causes them to be more willing of everything that he has to say.

Beowulf's use of Logos is seen when he is trying to put together his case for fighting Grendel. His arguments using ethos and pathos were just support that helped him ultimately be able to use logic in his argument. Beowulf's humble boasting allowed him to use a logical, syllogistic response that made his argument completely credible and caused Hrothgar to believe Beowulf through his logical forms or reasoning that made him seem like the only one capable of defeating Grendel. His use of logos was just as effective as his arguments...

Ethos, Logos, Pathos: Rhetorical Analysis
In the article “Distorted Images: Western Cultures are Exporting Their Dangerous Obsession with Thinness,” author Susan McClelland’s mainly focuses on how many young women idolize the women they see on T.V. The media is making many women feel as if they need to look a certain way to fit in with the world. Also the fact the western culture is spreading to other countries is a big issue because sicknesses, like bulimia, were not an issue before. Many women in other countries are starting to look at the women in the United States and want to be just like them. In this article, the author says that television, magazines, and media show young women that they need to be tall, skinny, and white to be successful in finding a job or even a love life. Throughout the essay, the author showed professional knowledge on the topic she was writing about, evidence from other sources, and the use of emotion; this article was strong and persuasive toward McClelland’s argument.
In this essay, Susan McClelland showed great use of ethos, she discussed the research she did to prove her argument was correct, she discovered how women in the poorer countries differed from the women in the United States who had television and media. She noted that women in Africa don’t have to worry about their weight; what they seemed more concerned...

...the 1963 nonviolent direct-action demonstrations in Birmingham, AL. In Dr. King’s letter he talks about the injustice that is proceeding with the ordeals of the segregation. All three appeals are employed in this letter and I seem to be drawn towards the emotional appeal, pathos, more than the rest due to the immense amount of emotion he projects.
While reading this letter it almost left me breathless, I immediately felt empathy for everyone who had to endure such injustice. Dr. King writes the clergymen and places them into his reality multiple times. One emotional appeal stood out to me more than the rest, “when you finally find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can’t go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children,” to only image the picture he has painted breaks my heart. The fact that the world was so unjust then to the point where it affected not only adults in the African American race, but children also, really hurt me. Dr. King states “when do you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking: ‘Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?’ ”. The emotional appeal in this letter was very strong and nearly had me in tears reading it that I almost felt guilty by the mere...

...Ethos, Pathos and Logos
A General Summary of Aristotle's Appeals . . .
The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade your audience that your ideas are valid, or more valid than someone else's. The Greek philosopher Aristotle divided the means of persuasion, appeals, into three categories--Ethos, Pathos, Logos.
Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.
Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. We can look at texts ranging from classic essays to contemporary advertisements to see how pathos, emotional appeals, are used to persuade. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument.
Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. This will be the most important technique we will study, and Aristotle's favorite. We'll look at deductive and inductive reasoning, and discuss what makes an...

...argues that rationality in America has become dictated by television. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, Postman demonstrates that his claim is valid and reliable. These are three forms of persuasion that are used to influence others to agree with a particular point of view. Ethos, or ethical appeal, is used to build an author’s image. Ethos establishes a sense of credibility and good character for the author (Henning). Pathos, or emotional appeal, involves engaging “an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotions” (Henning). If done correctly, the power of emotions can allow the reader to be swayed to agree with the author. Logos, or logical appeal, is the use of “formal logic and scientific reasoning” (Edlund & Pomona). Logos provides pellucidity to the claim and effectiveness of its fortifying evidence. Every claim has a call to action and Postman uses rhetorical persuasion to encourage a movement that takes place on behalf of his claim. In Amusing Ourselves to Death, Postman applies these various appeals to prove how television affects society’s ability to properly receive information.
Postman provides proper illustration of both ethos and pathos in Amusing Ourselves to Death. These appeals support that television learning opposes...

...are mainly supported by using the rhetorical devices of ethos, pathos, and logos. Jonathan Edwards spoke persuasively in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by using pathos to better the behaviors’ of his congregation. Olaudah Equiano wanted to persuade others to stop the Triangular Slave Trade in, “The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano” by using mainly logos. And lastly, “The Middle Passage” video documentary by PBS uses ethos and pathos to express the inhumanity of the slave trade. Each of these works have a different purpose to invoke change, but all use rhetoric to convince their audience to support the authors’ opinion.
Edwards’s sermon is persuasive in his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” because he invoked emotion in his congregation to make them change. For example, Edwards first uses pathos when he describes what hell is like for sinners who do not repent, “There is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God; there is Hell's wide gaping mouth open; and you have nothing to stand upon, nor any thing to take hold of; there is nothing between you and Hell but the air; it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up” (Edwards 108). This example clearly manipulates the fear of the Puritans as most did not know if they were saved or not. Edwards exploits the feelings of his audience with...

...MLKJ is a fact filled document that is very well written. The body of the letter consists of several easily identified examples of ethos. logos, and pathos. It appeals to all people weather they are logical thinkers as well as those who are emotionally driven. The letter is written in response to questions that were raised by other clergymen of the day. MLKJ does a great job of utilizing the art of good writing to change the ideals of the people opposing his general goals.
The ethos in this document first becomes apparent in the letter when he makes the statement “I have the honor of serving as the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state…..”(King 212) There are several more comments that fall into the category of ethos, but this one is in my opinion where in the letter it starts. I find it very fascinating that MLLJ uses ethos, logos and, pathos in that order. It reminders me a lot of how we as young men were broken down and rebuilt to become the soldiers we are today in basic training. Utilizing this method I can see how it would be hard for the original recipients to feel at ease and become more open to the issues addressed in the letter.
The logos in the letter becomes apparent when the statement “In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps :…”( King...

...﻿Ethos, Logos, Pathos: Three Ways to Persuade
by Dr. John R. Edlund, Cal Poly Pomona
Over 2,000 years ago the Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that there were three basic ways to persuade an audience of your position: ethos, logos, and pathos.
Ethos: The Writer’s Character or Image
The Greek word ethos is related(связанные) to our word ethics or ethical, but a more accurate(точный) modern translation might be “image.” Aristotle uses ethos to refer to the speaker’s character as it appears to the audience. Aristotle says that if we believe that a speaker has good sense, good moral character, and goodwill, we are inclined(склонный) to believe what that speaker says. Today we might add that a speaker should also appear to have the appropriate(соответствующий) expertise or authority to speak knowledgeably about the subject matter. Ethos is often the first thing we notice, so it creates the first impression that influences(впечатление, что влияет) how we perceive(воспринимать) the rest. Ethos is an important factor in advertising (рекламе), both for commercial products and in politics. For example, when an actor in a pain reliever(обезболивающее) commercial puts on a doctor’s white coat, the advertisers are hoping that wearing this coat will give the actor the authority to talk persuasively about medicines. Of course, in...
